- Learn what NOT to do with Cricut Infusible Ink as we test out ALL the crazy things! Learn more about Infusible Ink at jennifermaker.com/cricut-infu...
In this video we test 11 different Cricut Infusible Ink scenarios to find out what happens!
1. What if we use a folded towel instead of a pressing mat?
2. What if we don't pre-heat our material before putting Infusible Ink on it?
3. What if we don't use cardstock to protect our pressing mat?
4. What if we move our heat source when pressing an Infusible Ink transfer sheet?
5. What if we press twice with two different Infusible Ink transfer sheets?
6. What if we write directly on our material with Infusible Ink pens or markers?
7. What if we don't press our Infusible Ink long enough?
8. What if we re-use an Infusible Ink transfer sheet again?
9. What if we draw on a transfer sheet with an Infusible Ink pen or marker?
10. What if we press two sides of an Infusible Ink transfer sheet separately?
11. What if we use a household iron instead of an EasyPress or heat press?

Jennifer how wonderful of you to create all of these tests! Much appreciated ❣️
Thank you for doing these experiments. I'm planning to start using infusible ink soon and this was so helpful and interesting! I learned a lot. Thanks again!
This was fun and informative Jennifer. I thank you for doing all these tests like you did. I was really surprised by the iron-I did not expect it to work and the moving of the Easy Press I really expected a lot of ghosting. Thanks to Greg for all his help with the testing as well. It would be nice to have a product like this to work on cotton since a lot of people prefer cotton as polyester is just so hot to wear. Especially if you are an outside worker. People are wanting to go back to more natural things. I so love this idea of the infusible ink though, just wish it worked on cotton. Again, thanks for all the tutorials and testing Jennifer. I do want to try this one day soon. Hugs, Brenda
This was full of information and it was so FUN 'doing what we aren't supposed to do' and testing the waters -what a terrific idea! I especially appreciate your summing it up at the end where we can see them all together! Greg was a lot of fun, too, with the note he slipped in there. This was SO AWESOME! Thank you!!!
I am so glad you enjoyed this video, Dawn!
I am new to all this cricut stuff so I am open to it all I tend to go in full speed of all that I have watched on youtube. ... ready for this.... YOUR THE BEST,!!!! Thanks for sharing so much with us..
That was quite a fun run of tests! Thanks for trying stuff out for us. 👏🏻
I bought a huge roll of butcher's paper at Sam's Club. 18 inches 1000ft for $20. I learn so much from your videos, thank you!
Absolutely brilliant video. I enjoyed learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing
I can’t wait to try the infusible ink! Thank you for all your project suggestions and hints what not to do!
Yay! Glad you are trying it out! Best of luck! ❤️
I so want a "Greg" ! So helpful, hardly ever seen and never heard! I have been married for 48 years, so envious! I so love your teaching.
I am happy to share my knowledge, but I'm afraid I'm keeping Greg to myself, Kerrie! 😂 You may be seeing him in more tutorials in the future, though! Thank you so much for your kind words about him and about me! 😍
Hi Jennifer, I recently discovered infused ink markers and was anxious to give it a try. I watched your don'ts video then had my grandson draw me 4 pictures. They came out wonderful. Thanks for showing me the way.
I'm so glad! :)
You answered so many of my questions today. My friend has been asking me if you can use your iron well i was able to answer that.
Love love love this video! Thank you for creating such wonderful video tutorials and demonstrations. Very very helpful. I have learned a lot. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
Thanks for doing this because I feel we all do these steps out of order or forget certain things, so very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I just got my first Heat Press this week and came right to your channel for 'do's and don'ts!' Thank you Jennifer!
You are so welcome! 🌸
I have not used my cricut maker but I am watching many of your videos. Thank you for taking the time and for being so detailed
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make videos for us to learn
Havent tried this yet. Thank you for sharing
I use Parchment 📜 baking paper!!! IT WORKS! No problem with it! Got it from Amazon
Great!!! 😃
I did too!
Tried parchment as well, it’s a great money saving hack. Also the freezer paper for cutting fabrics in the explore was a game changer.
Jennifer thank you for sharing what not to do with Cricut Infusible Ink!
The results with the iron were impressive- did not expect that!
I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thank you so much for doing this!
You are so welcome, Rosa! 😍
What your doing is simply amazing and your video tutorial tutoring turned me into an even more so inspired individual. I'm going to be honest ma'am, you'd be one heck of a blazing and amazing professor or Teacher at a University of "what you've got going on" 😂. I deeply want to say ma'am thank you for doing what your doing. You've made my day. Thank you thank you thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Just got a circuit for my daughter for Christmas. I have no idea how to use it. Your videos are amazing!!!!! Thank you so much.
You are so welcome, Jess! We have a new free series of online classes that show you how to set up your machine as a new Cricut owner, if you haven't seen those yet! It's a great way to get started! 😍 Here's the link to sign up: makeracademy.com/cricutkickoff
Thank you for doing these kinds of videos! You rock! I just signed up for your cricut academy and can’t wait to get started!
YAY! Happy to have you here!
I got the joy xtra because of you😊 Jen you are so inspiring due to your knowledge and hard work. Love your videos.
Yay! Thank you so much! ❤️
I know this video is 3 years old almost but if you still have the beat up iron you maybe able to clean it up pretty easily with stainless steel appliance cleaner on a paper towel (small amount sprayed on it). My mom got some sort of adhesive on my good Rowenta iron and I was able to clean it nicely. Irons smooth as butter again! Also thank you for all the trial and error and successes on this video!!!!
I have to tell you, you are the best teacher ever! You are very descriptive and informative without overdoing it to the point of being boring. I am brand new the cricut scene. I have already learned so much watching your videos and have so many new projects I want to try now. I can't wait! Thank you for doing everything you do. Now for my question.... Do you think a quilting press board would be an equivalent to the Cricut easy press mat? Mine is homemade with a small cut sheet of 1/2" plywood, 2 layers of 100% cotton batting, and a decorative layer of 100% cotton fabric.
Thanks so much for your kind words! :) Yes, that sounds very similar. It's hard to say 100% as I haven't tested out your press board, but I would go for it! :)
I agree that Jennifer is the best Cricut instructor on UA-cam. Her voice is so smooth.
I’m watching all your videos and learning so much. This one is so much knowledgeable. Thank you again
Happy to hear that!✨
Thanks for taking the guess work out.
After looking at the video with the infusible ink pen canvas tote video on fb. I stumbled upon this video on youtube. However, i was about to ask about this topic and here it is. You answered a lot of questions in this video that I needed to know . You are so amazing with Cricut products
Glad it was helpful! 😍
Lots of great information! Thank you for all the experimenting!
Our pleasure, Nina! I LOVE to experiment! 😍
Wow lots of info. Will refer back to this when i experiment more with infusible ink
TU Jennifer I enjoyed the many tests you did with the Infusible Inks!
Isn't it fun to see the different results? 😊
Lots of great information! Thank you!
Hey Jennifer, thanks for sharing. I was wondering why my design was faded looking. I'm new to infusible ink so I really appreciate your videos.
Very informative video. Thank you!
Wow Thank You So Much For Running These Tests For Us!
Our pleasure!
"GREG WAS HERE!" -- Hilarious!!!! This was a great video. Thanks 🤗
That was my favorite part! Lol
First, I love that Greg helps you during these videos. Great job Greg! I have learned a lot from your videos and recently gave your name to a friend who just got a cricut. So just a few notes, When working with everyday iron on, if you move the easy press it moves the items that are trying to be transferred. When I first started with the infusible ink i did not have any cardstock so i used an old white dish cloth to cover my mat that worked fine. Question, have you tried to use the easypress mini yet?
Yes, I have a Minipress, and I LOVE it! It's just great for getting in to small places, like on shoes or hats, that are too big for even the smallest Easy Press! 🥰
Love these tutorials today was the first time trying anything Love it!!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you! Congratulations on your first project! 😃❤️
This was very much appreciated, love all your videos!
You are so welcome!
Jennifer, can you please teach me how to make a first day of school board for my daughter? You are great at what you do! Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ this!!! Can’t wait to get a cricut!
einfach immer wieder nur tolle Sachen ,Tips und Tricks
I do not even own a cricut but watched the entire video because this is an exceptional tutorial. Thank you
Wow, thank you! 😍
Love this testing.
thanks for this, so informative!!
So helpful! Thank you so much
Jennifer, I personally use parchment paper with my heat press and it works fabulously.
Yes, that works. 😊
I even bought my parchment paper at the $1.25 store.
Great video, I remember that you use to be able to get those irons that had no steam holes, just a complete flat surface. I wonder how they would go, not sure if you can still buy irons like that though. Maybe someones grandmother might have an old iron like this tucked away.
hmmm, not sure but I love my Easy Press! 💗
I enjoy watching your videos...what great info to know for a newbie like me
I'm so glad!
I have been watching your videos. I had a Cricut Explorer air and the old Expression with 110 cartridges. I keep it for when the internet isn’t workingFirst I just brought the infusible ink with the. Idea of printing words on a flag I am making my friend for her porch. Then I brought the Cricut Maker after seeing you etch with it. Then I brought the the 10x12 Easy Press after seeing it.. now I want some ironing Matt’s and more blades. I watch because I didn’t know the difference in infusible ink and iron on materials. Thanks for all your help!
You're SO welcome! 😍
I love your videos because you're so straightforward and precise without a lot of filler or odd camera angles AND you don't skip steps thinking we already know. So for that, I thank you! But my question is, when we have to use laser paper for a print and cut, can we still use an ink jet printer?
I wouldn't unless the paper was designated for both inkjet and laser. In my experience, because the coating on laser paper didn't absorb the ink properly properly or dry fully, my resulting images were smeared.
This is an amazing video I just got some things for the invisible ink now I’m willing to try them out after watching this video 🤣
Doesn't autocorrect make you go GRRRR
Fantastic demo.. Thank you for doing this..
My pleasure!
Thank you Jennifer for another great video so great and enjoyable to watch !!! Hugs Liz...
I'm so happy you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 💗
This has been SO HELPFUL!!
Great! Glad that you found it useful, Dorain! 😍
This is truly a EXCELLENT video
Thanks so much for watching! :)
You are so great for doing this!! Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
Love to learn new things!!
I would like you know that I appreciate your nicely easy pace of your lessons
Glad to hear that!
I received the easy press for Christmas and it came with the little easy press to and and some iron-on vinyl
Yay!
Every Cricut user should subscribe to your channel. Amazing tutorials and info!
Thanks so much 😊
Awesome video! Thanks.
Made it so easy to understand
This was a long video but I think it's wonderful that you have experimented with so many variables. It saves time and money for so many!
Thank you for taking the time to make all of your videos! What transfer tape are you using? Does cricut make a heat resistant transfer tape or is this the regular transfer tape?
Yes they do. It is important to only use heat resistant tape with Infusible Ink.
Im go glad you tired it with the iron
This was very informative. Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!💗
Thank you so like your teaching
I think my favorite part of this video was the beginning. I love that recap of all the videos I need to go watch in addition to this. I only have three rolls of infusible ink, and I plan NOT to waste it all, LOL!
Wonderful!
So so happy I saw this I had a shirt that was faded a little I took my pens N marker to fill it in. NO NO 😂 It bled and the color was darker. Thank you so much for this tutorial it was so helpful I watch the whole thing.
Glad I could help!
really great video. all the questions I had have been answered! Thank you
You're very welcome! 😃
Thank you for sharing! 😊
I found that I had to set the cut setting to light on my maker for the infusible ink sheets and now works just fine.
I’m learning so much from you. Thank you
I'm so glad!✨
Thanks so much for doing these videos! Seriously- LiFE SAVER ... I’m expecting to get along of backlash and judgy for this comment but I am a self confessed lazy cricicut user 🤦🏼♀️ I run a business as well as shift work as a health professional... so I just don’t have the time to look into how to do all the projects properly and own every ‘Cricut’ product... however I can share that yes Infusable ink works with an iron! Mine is 220 watts and I just turn it up and works fine.. (It’s accually the only thing the iron gets used for!lol) also when using the infusable ink and I feel like a corner of my design for example didn’t quite come out as vibrant or strong as I hoped.. I simply cut back the transfer tape, replace the transfer paper back onto the corner or shape that i feel needs more ink- then I use the top of my iron to ‘re transfer’ extra ink into that particular corner or spot. Your videos are amazing and that you for taking the time to show me the proper way to do projects but I’ve learn that’s there is usually an alternative ‘home made’ ‘make shift’ kinda way to achieve what I want, thank you again so so much for your videos and advise because lord knows I don’t have the instruction to read instructions 😂
Thanks for your feedback, Mel! 😊
GREAT video!
Had to get a new iron a few years ago because one of my cats kept biting the cord leaving tiny hole. Now I have two as my brother replaced the cord! Thanks to brothers with know how!
Oh no!
so on the heart that ghosted, could you press same heart again to complete process?
Made lots of notes. Very Helpful!!! TY❤
Glad it was helpful!
Always enjoy your videos
I appreciate that! :) Thanks for watching!
So glad I watched this! I really didn’t understand how this worked 😍
This was so fun! 😂
hello Jennifer, so glad to be part of your club. I received a cricket explore for Christmas !!! oh boy
I have a question as my iron only goes to 350. do you have a calculation method to compensate for this situation ??? thank you for your time !! Suzanne
I have not created a calculation method, but that's a great idea to test for a future tutorial!
U R AWESOME 🥰 U answered so many of my questions.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!😊🌻
Happy to help!
Wow I'm impressed with the iron cuz I always feel the companies want u to only use their products and I own alot of cricut and I find they truly try to make it that u only u what they say...even after spending HUNDREDS of bucks so lk the video try other products um sure alot more than we think work...thx for the video
Thanks for watching!
Should the t-shirts be washed prior to heat pressing and can you use colored card stock instead of white? Very informative. Thank you so much for doing all these videos. 💕
Cricut recommends that you do NOT wash the shirts before applying infusible ink! You can use any color cardstock you want, but there is a chance that your blank will take on the color of the cardstock, as the ink converts into a gas during the heat transfer process and it could bond with adjacent items or layers. Butcher paper and cardstock act as a barrier to protect your blank, Cricut EasyPress Mat, and Cricut EasyPress heat plate from unwanted transfer. The paper also helps capture any moisture that is released during the pressing process. So, I would just be safe and use while cardstock! 😉🥰
What if you take the infusible in pens or makers and try to enhance the color of an already used transfer sheet?
Can you re-use the infusible ink markers, because I iron one today and there was a lot of ink left.
I’m trying to find your paint flower on the wall instructions and can’t find it: what is the video name?
Is it possible to use Iron vinyl with the in-fusible ink pens
Usually brown butcher paper is waxed. I have found that the unwaxed is sometimes referred to as "white Kraft butcher paper"
do you think its the same as Parchment paper? that is not waxed or coated.
@@dygonproductions7062 I was wondering if parchment paper could be used too!
Thank you, very interesting video 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 😊🌻
Hi Jennifer,
would like to know how to do Infusible Ink on new car seat cover.
thankyou also so much for your tutorials really helped me out .
Great suggestion! 🌸
Hi I enjoy watching your videos and I count this one very interesting thank you for doing this one it was very help full. I was wondering if you can share with me what size your easy press is it it looks like the mini easy press. When I look for it and see in ads they look pretty large i don’t want a large one. Thank you
I Use the EasyPress 2 because your heat source needs to get up to at least 390°F for the heat transfer to work. 💗
Ive tried to use dark t-shirs and it doesn't show. Must you only use white?
I use parchment paper all the time with my heat press with no problem but it does come in different thicknesses. The stuff I buy at the dollar store is thin. The stuff I buy at Walmart or Publix is thicker.
That's true.😊
Thanks sooo much Jennifer...you are TERRIFIC! I just got my Cricut Maker 3 and I have been watching several of your video's and I have been very successful in doing 7 different shirts. My name is Patty Ashton, NC
